Publisher's Description
Between 2002 and 2007, Martin Parr photographed ‘the last parking space’ available in 41
countries – somewhere you could have parked your car, had you been there at the time. Using a
compact camera, and driven by wanting to express “the individual frustration of finding somewhere
to park, but on a global level”, this is the latest body of work in Martin’s methodical personal
address to the issues of globalisation – the desire for a precious parking space being a banal
unifier of the middle classes the world over.

Parr’s concept for the book Parking Spaces is to present it in the manner of a wedding album –
white and terribly precious, as befits the value of the last parking space. Featuring 63 photographs,
it is published by Chris Boot in a signed, boxed limited edition of 1000 copies.
